In this dissertation, we use Monte Carlo simulation to study the bulk and interfacial properties of a model octane-water-silica system. We first investigate the effect of temperature, pressure, and composition on the bulk ...

Ets1 is a transcription factor that is highly expressed in lymphocytes, and is required for proper lymphocyte responses. Ets1 deficient mice develop an autoimmune syndrome and the human ETS1 gene has been identified as a ...

The complexity of understanding “choice” and decision-making in the U.S. context of maternity healthcare is fostered by competing, and often polarized, notions of how women conceptualize, approach, and experience pregnancy ...

Halema‘uma‘u crater, Kilauea volcano, Hawaii, has produced basaltic explosive activity ranging from weak explosions to sub-Plinian eruptions. The explosive eruptions that dominated the activity of the past 500 yr have been ...

Computed Tomography (CT) is the current standard method for the visualization of internal structures of objects through the use of ionizing radiation. Micro-CT makes use of a small focal spot x-ray source and small ...

The number of Active Shooting Events (ASEs) per year have increased from 2000 to now (Blair et al. 2014) and with this increase there has also been an increase in the number of deaths of innocent victims. Post incident ...

This research develops and tests a grounded-theory framework that provides new insights on how to create effective motion-based marketing stimuli such as motion graphics. Drawing upon theories such as gestalt psychology, ...

With ever-evolving technologies, analysis and control of power systems are increasingly becoming more complicated. As the electric power industry continues to grow and electrical energy becomes ubiquitous, more information ...

Background and Objectives: Graduates from undergraduate nursing programs report inadequate death education. Most death education is focused on end-of-life care and taught by lecture. Students are not provided opportunities ...

ABSTRACT Large scale, national reform movements, referred to as top-down reform in recent scholarship, and localized pushes for increased standardization have left many teachers and students pressured to define learning ...
